The ladies of Burnham’s Inner Wheel also made a splash for local charities by taking part in Sunday’s event at Brean Splash.

Swimmers for Burnham-On-Sea based charity Sensational Kids, below, also took part in Sunday’s Swimarathon.

This year’s Swimarathon was dedicated to the late Jim Tancock, Past President of the Club who created the event, and who sadly passed away last year. A plaque was unveiled in Jim’s memory, pictured below, and his wife Janet said she was “deeply touched” by the memorial.

Mark Newbery, President of Burnham Rotary Club, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It’s been another very successful Swimarathon. The Club is grateful to the owners and staff of Brean Splash for their hospitality and facilities, and to all who supported it and took part.”

The children from Burnham’s Zone Youth Club, pictured above, swam a total of 226 lengths in 40 minutes and raised a fantastic £140 towards funding their club. The event was sponsored by Acorn Solicitors who paid the team’s entry fee.
